I found this floating around on a few websites tonight. I’m not actually ON the SubPop mailouts, so I can’t confirm the veracity of this, but here’s some (possibly) exciting news about next year’s ATP Festival:
All Tomorrow’s Parties May 2006, aka The United States of ATP to be curated by our own Mudhoney, The Shins and Sleater-Kinney! Weekend One takes place May 12th-14th, during which Mudhoney, along with the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and a still-TBA special guest will perform and curate one day each, programming bands/DJ sets and a television channel. Weekend Two takes place May 19th-21st and that weekend Sleater-Kinney, The Shins and Ween will do the same deal. ATP is a remarkably good time, put together the way that every festival should be (and because of the on-site lodging there’s never that annoying trapped-rat feeling so pervasive at most music festivals) and if you can possibly make it, you really, really should. Tickets can be purchased directly through:
Ticket’s CAN’T be purchased now, and there’s no actual info on the ATP official site. The news doesn’t even mention a festival site, but I’m guessing this would be the newest iteration of ATP Pacific in Long Beach, or more likely, a site in the Pacific Northwest in either Seattle or Portland.
update: Looks like it’ll be in Camber Sands, UK.
